City Council Notes-Aprl 15, 2014

A part of the OACCT's Public Policy efforts for 2014 is for volunteers from the Public Policy committee attend both City and County meetings and report back on items that are of interest/concern to business.

We held a public hearing on the TIF district for Daikin Applied (McQuay) and passed the TIF modification.

We passed resolutions supporting Daiken and Jostens in their application for the MN Jobs Creation Fund for business expansion.

We had a hearing to address non-compliance issues with Charter Communications, the hearing was tabled until the next meeting.

We approved  a cooperative agreement with the county on doing some sanitary sewer repair on Dane Rd. to coincide with their repairs.

A proposed ordinance to increase setbacks on accessory structures was tabled to allow a meeting with the Planning Commission.

New polling places were designated for the primary election.

A contract was awarded for Boiler repair at the WWTP (treatment plant), unfortunately a local contractor was the low bidder but didn't fulfill all of the necessary requirements to win the bid. 

Authorization was approved to Bid this year's crack sealing. 


The public comment portion was used to discuss the proposed pay increase for the council and dissatisfaction with the City's efforts to bring in another cable TV provider.
